    Hacking RetroGameFan Updates/Releases

    I hope this is the right spot. First of all, this firmware has definitely extended the life of my M3 Real because of M3's death so I greatly appreciate it. The only issue I'm having is with creating GBA saves. For example, Megaman and Bass creates a 0 byte save file so obviously nothing...

    Wii #XXXX - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (USA)

    It will probably be released sometime today... don't anticipate it being long before a proper is released.

    Hacking Alternative firmwares for M3

    Looks like it was updated about 3 hours ago. Thank you for all your help gaboros!

    Wii #XXXX - Metroid: Other M *Bad dump* (USA)

    Hmmm... I looked at the Super Smash Bros Brawl ISO and it's 8,511,160,320 bytes. Metroid Prime Trilogy is 8,497,659,904 bytes. The WiiTARD release of Metroid Other M if I remember right is also 8,511,160,320 bytes. The release for Metroid Other M with the file name Metroid_Other_M is...

    Nope, apparently it wasn't.

    Which version did you burn? WiiTard untouched?

    I beg to differ on that one... I have a Wiikey v1, burned using that layer break and it will not work from disc channel after requesting system update and it freezes at Baby's Cry cutscene with Gecko and NeoGamma. So... modchip is not a gimmee at all, unfortunately.

    I found the answer to the bad hash Hermes issue... use DOP-MII to uninstall IOS249 and reinstall cIOS Rev 17 That fixes that issue, but I'm still hosed because I burned with the Update Partition there. And for the person with the inability to read any discs anymore... hard power down the Wii...

    I still can't get it past the Baby's Cry cutscene. I burned it to a DVD+R DL using ImgBurn at 2.4x and layer break set to 2084960. I installed cIOS38r17 to IOS249, then installed Hermes 202, 222, 223, and 224 using the recommended settings. Tried booting through Gecko OS 1.9.3.1 and NeoGamma...

    But, it's the only disc that has that reaction. All other discs (including Metroid Prime Trilogy and Super Smash Bros Brawl) work fine.

    Yeah it was Baby's Cry. I'm using an actual burned disc. Oh well, time to install a cIOS then!

    Well, it locked up on me during one of the early cutscenes... probably best to wait for another proper at this point.

    I have a Wiikey with 1.99 beta installed and it updated the system fine. But, when it restarted, whenever I inserted the disc, after it read the Wii Remote would just lockup and not do anything and the disc channel wouldn't show anything. I'm running it in Gecko OS just fine though. Weird...

    Not if they're filled with garbage data which most of them seem to be... and not only that, but it's possible that the files on the disc themselves are already compressed on most Wii games. I looked at Madden 11 and it's only 1.8GB of actual data. So the rest is random garbage. Time will...

    Wii #XXXX - Metroid: Other M *Bad dump* (USA)

    According to WiiScrubber, the disc image actually has nearly 8 billion bytes of data (~7626MB). The update partition is there as well. I ran it in Dolphin and it ran the game fine it seems. It's possible that since there is very little garbage in this disc that it truly can be compressed that...
